A cracking day out topped by an excellent goal from Kim Grant at our end. Garry Nelson wrote about Collymore mugging him (in his first book) for Fowlers Goal, though what Garry was doing back towards the Kop end I'll never know.

I arranged a 76 seater double decker coach from Sevenoaks, sold out within four days and had loads of people nagging me for tickets/travel - my, how times change for these 'big' fixtures now.

Traffic problems meant we got to our seats spot on kick off - it must have been an amusing site seeing 76 Addicks trotting along Row A of the Anfield Road End right behind the goal.

Got an official letter from Charlton about a fortnight later saying how naughty we were to have alcohol on board our coach and not to let it happen again. I wrote back and suggested that by the time we hit junction 21A of the M6 there was no alcohol left on board, so what was the problem.

When I jumped up to celebrate Kim Grant's goal my car keys must have jumped right out of my pocket. Me and my missus then had to spend 4 hours waiting for the RAC to come and rescue us while we slowly froze to death on a bitterly cold Liverpool night. Finally got home just in time for breakfast and Mrs Red_Pete was not in the slightest bit impressed!!

i loved this day, me me ol mate tim went (i only think morts genius and mortain no him) on a coach, i thought we had 5500 up there! I echo the noise they made when they scored, i thought it was well loud, and v funny when we terrorised poor ol Stan! lol

Midweek game due to weather postponement of previous round Minutes silence for Bob Paisley maybe? Was quite near to divide between the two sets of fans and police getting baton heavy after few cross words between the two sets. Defo a good penalty shout at the death. Defender slid in and dragged ball along with arm

I took my then 11yr old son up with me by plane as I had a business appointment in Bolton that afternoon, was his first flight and only ever visit to Anfield, poor bugger got air sick on the way up. We stayed overnight at some seedy little motel then got a train back to Manchester airport the next morning. Time flies as he is now 29.....

Seemed to take ages to get there, and I will never forget the atmosphere - so much anticipation, and seeing the likes of Fowler and Collymore in the flesh was so strange, as this was the time when we were regularly being undone by the likes of Jan Arge Fjortoft (sic) and Brett Angel!!!

It was the first proper game we had been in since the infamous Old Trafford 1/4 final two years earlier, and I remember thinking how good it was to be back in the big time again, rather than visiting the footballing outposts of Peterborough or Stockport.

Some real CAFC legends in that line-up as well, and I think that five of them survived for the Sunderland POF game 2 1/2 years later - which shows that the spine of the team was there.

Interestingly looking at Liverpool, not only were there no foreign players in that team, but their entire thirteen were English born - how times change!

PS: I am fully aware that John Barnes was born in Jamaica, before anyone gets pedantic, but he did play for England with great distinction for many years so can be excepted!

I went up there on the coach with my dad, my parents let me have two days off school for it. My memory of the game itself is hazy (I was 8) but these points have always stuck with me:

- We were near the front and during the minute's silence someone let out a massive fart at the back which had the whole block in stitches.- Every time McManaman got the ball it was scary. There'd be a huge roar whenever they were breaking, it was definitely more impressive than Old Trafford 2 years before.- I think Liverpool fans were throwing coins after we scored, they were definitely getting mouthy. That seemed really unncecessary when we were a small club on our big day out, getting a consolation goal.- I was overjoyed and proud to see Kim Grant's goal make Match of the Day's Goal of the Month competition, I missed the results so I called up the BBC to see if he'd won. Alas, it wasn't to be.

Can just about remember this (13 at the time), great day out Kim Grants goal was a amazing. That was a quailty Liverpool team too... back in the day when they used to have the epic 4;3 reults with Newcastle

Jeez, 22 years. Went in my mates new car to this and shared the driving. Had a quick pint in the pub near Goodison, The Stanley Arms and tried to talk him into driving all the way home, he wasn't having it.
